Don't listen to all these idots saying it doesnt work. It works exactly as advertised and is well worth the money. What these morons writing these reviews dont seem to comprehend is that EUIV and CK2 have diffrent dev teams. Meaning when EU4 is updated the folks down at the CK2 department need to update the converter to make it work with the newest version.

Now that can take some time. Depending on how big of an update EU4 had. Most of these reviews were written when the biggest update EU4 ever had came out. Version 1.9 for Art of war was an enourmous change to EU4 and added hundreds of new provinces. Mean that the folks at CK2 had to code all that in to the converter for it to work properly which isnt a fast and easy thing to do.

Another thing is the converter converts your save game into the form of a mod for EU4. Which requires a line of code in the corisponding .MOD file that will look something like this- supported_version= "1.10" So what does this mean? It means you'll only be able to play the mod if you're running a version of EU4 that begins with 1.1. MEANING that if a new update for EU4 comes out lets say version 1.2 you wont be able to load up your converted save. Which is why we have all these idiots saying it doesnt work in the reviews. All you have to do is open up the .MOD file with notepad or something and change the line supported_version= "1.10" to supported_version= "1.2" or what ever version of EU4 you're trying to get it to work on.

Or you could just wait for CK2 to update the converter so it converts with the latest version of EU4 already set. Which doesn't take long. When El dorado came out with the new patch it didnt take very long at all for the CK2 to update the converter. Only like a couple days really. And when an EU4 hotfix came out they literally updated the converter to work on the very same day. The only time it would ever take the CK2 team a while to update the converter so it works is if an update for eu4 comes out adding new provinces which isnt very often.

So in conclusion does the Crusader Kings II: Europa Universalis IV Converter work?Yes

Is it worth the 10$?Yes

Why are there so many negative reviews for this?

Because people are idiots who dont understand how things work. If you look closley you will see that nearly all of them are posted from november 2014 to december 2014. This is during the time the CK2 team was working on an update for it. It took them so long because EU4 version 1.9 had came out which added a huge amount of new content and changed the game more than any other update ever has.

Currently at least my converter converted to support 1.9 version while EU4 is at 1.10.1.0 but you can just go to your ck2 saves location and open the "EU4_export" file and the "mod" file within. There you find all the informationfiles and the same amount of text files. Open the text file you want to modify and change the supported version to support the correct version of the game ( for example: supported_version = "1.9" -> supported_version = "1.10.1.0" ) and remember to hit save. Worked for me but I haven't been playing for long to see how stable it is but it should work just fine. I hope this helped. And sry for my english it's my second language.

I'm fed up with this piece of software. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work it will probably be fixed eventually. However, eventually is not good enough. When they update either of the two games, Paradox should make sure that the converter is updated allong with it. Once they've done that, they can implement their update and sell their new DLC. It is just awful policy to do what they do because now, the converter only works when the planets are aligned properly. And all the while you pay 10 dollars for a feature that other games have included for free. I recommend only buying this years down the line when all of the DLC and updates for both games are done. Before that you just can't be sure it'll work and you can be sure that it won't work at some point in the future.

They don't mention that you can't play your imported game in Ironman mode because they just want to rip you off. I played all along in Ironman mode in CK II but I still can't play in that way in EU IV. It doesn't convert your saved game in another save file, but in a mod. It also makes me start with no tech group and no technology, meaning I can't even produce a single soldier or buy mercenaries!!! This is absolutely NOT playable unless you heavily edit a saved game.
